A few weeks ago I shared with you how Obama was making plans to raise taxes via executive action in order to bypass Congress and avoid that pesky Constitution. Well, the Republicans have finally responded. In a letter to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Paul Ryan called on Obama to work with Congress. The two Republicans warned that unilateral action on taxes would be “a mistake, both constitutionally and politically.” Both constitutionally AND politically? Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the “constitutionally” part of the equation enough? I really don’t care about…

Article 1 – Section 8 of the Constitution states that the power to lay and collect taxes lies with the Congress. So, guess what Obama is thinking about doing. If you said raise taxes via executive action, you’d be right. At least that’s the word from White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, who confirmed Monday that Obama is “very interested” in the idea of raising taxes through unilateral executive action. The topic was brought up by a reporter after Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT)—a self-avowed socialist—wrote a letter calling on Obama to raise over $100 billion through I.R.S. executive actions and bypassing…

NEWSFLASH!! The White House Council of Economic Advisers released the Economic Report of the President yesterday, and it noted that median family incomes are down since Obama took office. Not only that, but many Americans are still worse off today than they were when he became president. I know… I know… That’s not really a newsflash. Unless you’re dead or comatose, you knew this already. So, why would the president release a report that appears to show that his economic policies have failed? Because it helps him with his agenda of spreading the wealth. While Obama, along with his buddies in the liberal…

Liberals and progressives have been re-writing major portions of American history for decades. If the facts don’t line up with your agenda, change them so they do. Want to win the black vote? Re-write history to erase Republican successes on civil rights while white-washing—did that sound racist?—your party’s connections to the Klu Klux Klan. Want to raise taxes? Re-write history and tell Americans that Bill Clinton’s 1993 increase of personal income taxes on the top bracket—which had a very negative effect on the economy—resulted in 23 million jobs being created. You also rewrite the part that shows that this job growth didn’t occur until Clinton…

It was just a few days ago that Obama let America know that the private sector is doing fine and that it was the pubic sector big government that needed the most help in creating jobs that would keep the recovery worst economic rebound since the Great Depression on track. Thanks to today’s unlawful rewrite of RobertsCare Obamacare by Chief Justice Roberts, the Supreme Court “Constitutionalized” the unconstitutional Affordable Care Act – an oxymoron if I ever heard one – by calling the individual mandate a “tax.” Obama is now free to create hundreds, if not thousands, of big government jobs via a new governmental division that will…
